ENCORE Films proudly presents:
Based on the best-selling manga series of the same name by Shinobu Kaitani and published in Weekly Young Jump magazine starting 2005, Liar Game is a tournament organized by a mysterious organization, which pits players against each other in a high stakes battle of wits to deceive one another out of their money.
Nao Kanzaki (Erika Toda) is a young simple college student who finds herself unwittingly involved in a mysterious competition called the Liar Game Tournament (LGT). In this competition, participants try to cheat one another of a large sum of money (loaned to them from the tournament organizers). To win – one must employ every possible trick and device to lie, cheat, swindle and con. Winners take home an obscene amount of money, while the losers incur an insurmountable mountain of debt.
Nao seemingly has no chance of survival in this microcosm of greed and deceit. Fortunately, she manages to enlist the help of master con man, Shinichi Akiyama (Shota Matsuda), whose razor-sharp mind and genius with manipulation helps her survive an onslaught of ruthless challenges.
Following up on the successes of Death Note and Kaji, this film promises to be another psychological, mind twisting ride. Will the film’s protagonist, Nao Kanzaki, and her mercenary con man Shinichi Matsuda be able to swindle their way to victory, or will they spiral into the depths of eternal debt?
Catch it in Golden Village cinemas from 12 August 2010. Let the games begin!
